Teaching

Alongside his practice at VALUENEER, Managing Director Dr. Thorsten Makowski promotes the academic development of procurement through teaching at several
universities worldwide.

Many companies lack qualified procurement professionals. Furthermore procurement suffers under a low standing within the company. Recently this perception
changed and procurement is moving into the focus. An indicator for this is e.g. the increasing number of CPOs found in large companies. As a consequence more qualified procurement professionals
are needed.
